I think that misses whole issues of culture. 'Junior' isn't really a
word used in UK English, I think. If I think of the word, it comes up
in my head used to refer to a child in an American sitcom. We would
use it for junior school (for kids around, maybe, 8 or 9 years old).
That tells me the word has a different resonance in the US to what it
has in the UK. It may translate, but it drags with it a whole load of
different associations, and we speak the same language. God only knows
what junior, translated, feels like to an Italian, or a Swede. It's
such a complicated word, whereas, as just suggested, Certified System
Administrator isn't so loaded with different meanings.
